Nicole & Brad
Wedding Party
Elizabeth Bolduc
Maid of Honor
Lizzy and Nicole met in Pre-School at Little Folk Farm, and became fast friends. From playing ponies in pre-school, to homecoming dances and proms, to walking together at graduation, they quite literally grew up together. Even throughout college in different states, they always looked forward to seeing each other at Christmas or in the summer and picking up exactly where they left off. Over the years, Lizzy has been more like a sister than simply a friend, and there's no way Nicole could imagine walking down the aisle without Lizzy by her side!
Tad Ogren
Best Man
Brad and Tad met in college, as teammates on the GMU Swim Team. Tad has moved around for medical school and for his assignments in the air force but he and Brad have been able to meet up frequently when Tad and his wife, Allie, visit their parents in northern Virginia. This past November Tad was able attend the Nationals world series championship parade with Brad. Tad is one of the most loyal and selfless friends anyone could ask for and Brad is honored to have him stand at his side as he and Nicole say I do.
Aileen Foley
Bridesmaid
Aileen and Nicole met as teammates on the GMU Swim Team, and very quickly realized they had quite a bit in common. Not only were their lockers right next to each other, but they were both pursuing degrees in the health and recreation field, and their birthday's were only one day apart! (Aileen is April 16th, Nicole is April 17th!) Sharing many rides to the Prince William campus, struggling through group projects and late nights studying, and "helping" each other take notes in class, Aileen and Nicole both managed to graduate together with degrees in Exercise Science. After a few years, the real world couldn't keep them too far apart, and Aileen and her fiance´ Mark moved in to the same apartment complex as Nicole and Brad. Best. Neighbors. Ever!
McKinnen Leonard
Groomsman
McKinnen and Brad met working as brewers at Crooked Run. The two of them quickly became good friends doing pilot batches and bouncing new ideas off of one another. Brad and McKinnen have a love for sour beer and have worked together for the last 3 years to build Crooked Run's sour beer program. Through their working relationship and friendship they have been able to attend beer festivals and events together, and also bonding during their multiple work trips to Maine.
Meredith David
Bridesmaid
Meredith was the first person Nicole met when she started working at FISH, and they immediately hit it off. Bonding over their love of Disney, Harry Potter, and talking in strange voices, they soon learned that they lived in apartment complexes next to each other, were backstrokers for their college teams, and had birthdays that were only one day apart (Nicole on April 17th and Meredith on April 18th!). After only knowing each other for a few months the two schemed up a surprise trip to Disney World for Brad's birthday and after traveling together to the most magical place on earth, their friendship was solidified for life.
Kyle Bush
Groomsman
Kyle and Brad met as freshmen in High school. The two bonded over their passion for cars and would often spend summer nights tearing each others cars apart and figuring how to put them back together again. Kyle and Brad have maintained contact over the years and, despite the fact they don't see each other very often, every time they do it's like they saw one another yesterday.
Carter Orrison
Ring Bearer
Carter is Brad's oldest nephew, and an avid Lego and Star Wars lover.
